Question:

Can dried blood be removed from the eye?

Answer:

If the blood is in the vitreous cavity, the area behind the lens and in front of the retina, the blood can be removed with an operation called a vitrectomy. However if the blood is within the retina or underneath the retina, removal is quite challenging and often not possible.
